The Latest addition to the cabin......

We recently received this wonderful stained glass piece and decided the best place for it was in the cabin!!! Sure hope you like it too.

This has been an amazingly busy year at The Rustic Cabin. It has been great fun to see returning guests and to meet many for the first time. We have the most wonderful people come and stay at our cabin. It continues to be a place of refuge for those looking for something different, quiet, relaxing and magical. Come sleep, paint, draw, write, walk, swim, float in the river, listen, enjoy. Create and be a part of creation.

It's been a hot skinny dipping day!!!!

What a great way to spend the afternoon. Icy cold beverage. Good book. Floaty chair. This really is heaven!!!!!

An improved laneway to the cabin....

How exciting!!! The laneway has been widened and resurfaced for about half of the way to the cabin. I went to town so I wouldn't interfere with all of the tree cutting that needed to be done to do the job right. We need to take out another 30 or more trees to finish it all of the way down to the cabin. That may happen later this summer. The two curves will be much easier to manage now in the spring and fall when it get wet and sticky. Sorry, you will still have to walk-in in the winter!!!!

It is time to book your 2013 visit!!!

I'm writing to you from Grand Bahama Island. We are here for the winter and so sorry you aren't here!!! Emails and reservations have been coming regularly since we arrived at the end of December. Now is a really good time to book your summer getaway. You can visit the Rustic Cabin in the winter if you have great winter tires. All weather tires just don't cut it where our driveway is concerned. The driveway is ploughed but you need to walk your geer in.

The main points to remember, if you don't want to read the whole blog, can't imagine why, is that the Rustic Cabin has no hydro or running water. It is a different experience for those who are brave and looking for something out of the ordinary. It is very comfortable. I love to stay there. Oil lamps provide lighting and we provide containers of water if we are home. In the winter you have to carry your own water in.

The Rustic Cabin offers you a very tranquil experience. Surrounded by trees. Very private, so much so that if you want to be o'natural you may do that. Gay friendly. Swimming hole. Fishing. Bridge going over the Magnetewan River to 50 acres with some trails and 200 acres of Crown Land behind us. It is delightful, magical and oh so relaxing. Come and experience the peace, the sound of nature and the changing character of the river.

Merry Christmas to You!!!

Yes, we have snow. It is lovely here!!! The cabin is available 12 months of the year. We prefer to rent to former guests during the winter as we aren't around but............ Let us know if you want to have a winter adventure and if you know your plans for the summer of 2013 please get to us with your dates asap!!!!

Whew is it hot!!!!!!

Now, this is the place to cool off!!! A dip in our swimming hole. A sleep in the hammock or a walk in the river. It will all give you peace and a refreshing experience!!! The river is very low for this time of year and the water is very warm. Come and enjoy the experience!!!!

Caught in the act!!!!

We are experiencing quite the problem with these little deers. They have now eaten all of my hostas, rose buds and lilly buds!!!! Strange as there is so much forage available in the bush right now. Guess my stuff is much yummier!!!!!! If they discover my veggie garden, I'll have to start sleeping out there!!!
